"Is that Elder Danzo's head, right?" asked one of the Jonin who were present here.

"Yes, he is Elder Danzo," replied one of the Anbu ninja.

Most of the ninjas present here don't know who Danzo is, except for some experienced Jonin and all Anbu ninjas.

Nara Shikaku sighed and shook his head, knowing that it's now impossible for anyone to prevent Jiryoku from becoming a missing-nin.

"You really killed Danzo. Even if you surrender, you can't escape the punishment," said Jiraiya.

"As if I would have been spared before. And don't overestimate yourself, Jiraiya. You are not powerful enough to make me careful. The only person I feared, and who could have easily defeated me, is Might Guy. My objective from the beginning was to drop this meteor on Konoha to force Might Guy to use the Eight Inner Gates. I know it's so harsh that Might Guy won't be able to use it again without proper rest. Now hand over those two," said Jiryoku.

"What are you talking about?" asked Jiraiya with a straight face.

"You know very well what I am talking about. I can't sense their presence in Konoha, so this means only one thing: you hid them," said Jiryoku.

"If I hid them, then with your sensing abilities, you could have easily found them," said Jiraiya.

"You are right, but you can hide them in the 'Gourd Toad' that you summoned, and the inner space of the 'Gourd Toad' is isolated from the outside world, so I can't sense inside the toad," said Jiryoku.

After hearing the words of Jiryoku, Jiraiya's face changed, and he said, "You seem to know too much about me and my summons."

"I have done my research. Now, I will say it one last time: if you stand in my way to complete this, then I will crush you," said Jiryoku while throwing the head of Danzo in the direction of his father's grave and drew out his sword.

Seeing this, Jiraiya immediately pressed his hand on the ground, and suddenly the surroundings changed, forming a fleshy enclosure. Jiraiya had used "Summoning: Toad Mouth Bind".

Jiryoku, who was standing above the fleshy ground, found it difficult to stand steadily as it was very slippery and sticky, even when he tried using Chakra to stand properly.

Jiraiya, whose hand was touching the fleshy ground, controlled the flesh around Jiryoku to attack him from every direction. However, Jiryoku easily cut those flesh tentacles and defended himself. Nevertheless, it was quite irritating because closing in on Jiraiya was almost impossible. It was like a domain to Jiraiya, where he could control the flesh however he saw fit, attack from any direction, and displace his position or Jiryoku's position.

"Jiraiya boy, try to trap him inside the esophagus, as he will not be able to use any kind of move to escape from here, and he will surely exhaust himself. Then you can capture him easily," said Fukasaku.

Jiraiya nodded in agreement and continued controlling the flesh to capture Jiryoku.

On the other hand, Jiryoku became irritated, covered his hand in 'Armament Haki,' and slowly formed a Rasengan in his hand. Jiraiya noticed the Rasengan and blurted out, "How do you know Rasengan?"

Jiraiya was surprised and shocked because currently, in the whole world, only he and Kakashi knew how to create Rasengan.

"You don't need to know," said Jiryoku and continued to create Rasengan. He added wind nature to it, and as soon as he did this, Jiraiya was shocked. Even he had not been able to figure out how to add Chakra nature to Rasengan. It's not like he never tried, but Rasengan always went out of control as soon as Chakra nature was added to it.

Finally, Jiryoku created the 'Wind Release: Rasenshuriken'. Jiraiya tried to trap Jiryoku, but how could the flesh contend against Rasenshuriken? As soon as the flesh came near Rasenshuriken, with just a slight wave, the flesh was obliterated, and Jiryoku cut through the wall of the flesh structure, completely leaving the esophagus of the Giant toad.

From the outside, people only saw a cuboidal shape of flesh. As no one was standing between Jiryoku and Jiraiya, Jiraiya was able to trap only Jiryoku without affecting anyone else.

While the people outside were anticipating the result, suddenly there was a loud sound of cutting, and a part of the flesh was torn apart, with small pieces spreading across the field among the people. All the ninjas saw Jiryoku coming out from the fleshy structure. As soon as Jiryoku emerged, the flesh structure vanished within seconds with a cloud of smoke.

As the flesh structure disappeared, Jiraiya came into view, standing with a solemn look on his face. He immediately used the Wild Lion's Mane Technique, causing his hair to grow longer and form the mouth of a tiger that attacked Jiryoku in a biting manner. However, Jiryoku quickly went into Storm Chakra mode and disappeared from his position with incredible speed, reappearing in front of Jiraiya, slashing towards his neck.

But Jiraiya was also quick and reacted swiftly, deflecting Jiryoku's attack with his Stone Sword. Not only did Jiraiya defend himself, but he also wrapped himself in his hair and used the 'Needle Hell' technique, which is one of his deadliest and fastest techniques for close quarters combat.

Jiryoku wasn't to be outdone. As soon as the hair needles came near him, he used Gravity Push, deflecting the hairs from their current trajectory, causing them to spread out and fall to different locations. As a result, some ninjas were also affected, and their bodies were pierced by Jiraiya's hair.

Seeing this, Jiraiya felt quite bad, so he immediately said, "Kakashi, take the ninjas from here and retreat, or else they will continuously be affected by the aftermath of the battle." Kakashi nodded, and with the other ninjas, he started retreating.
